Immortal

What is righteousness? How does one define righteousness? Is it justifiable to compromise one’s righteousness to achieve cosmic balance? This play aims to discuss these existential questions in the eyes of a figure steeped in Hindu mythology, Ram of the Axe who is also widely believed to be one of the first disciples of ancient indian martial arts. Audience will take a journey through time with Ram as he explores complex concepts such as the guru-disciple relationship, redemption, and sacrifices in the path to achieve cosmic balance.

The Indian martial arts of Silambam and Kalaripayattu will play a vital role in the play. Recognised as an intangible cultural heritage of Singapore, techniques of Silambam will be used in the choreography of the multiple fight sequences in the play. The inclusion of martial arts in this play aims to provide a wholesome experience to the audience while showcasing its cultural heritage.
